1 00:00:01,190 --> 00:00:18,310 [Music] 2 00:00:22,630 --> 00:00:20,470 i think the first time i really got to 3 00:00:23,910 --> 00:00:22,640 soak in the view was in the cupola on 4 00:00:27,109 --> 00:00:23,920 the station 5 00:00:29,750 --> 00:00:27,119 and and to just sit there and and 6 00:00:30,630 --> 00:00:29,760 think you know the the colors jump at 7 00:00:40,950 --> 00:00:30,640 you 8 00:00:42,549 --> 00:00:40,960 different sensations 9 00:00:44,389 --> 00:00:42,559 the largest 10 00:00:45,270 --> 00:00:44,399 emotion that i'd feel out of it is i 11 00:00:48,069 --> 00:00:45,280 felt 12 00:00:50,470 --> 00:00:48,079 this connection all of humanity's here 13 00:00:53,110 --> 00:00:50,480 on this globe you realize just how 14 00:00:55,670 --> 00:00:53,120 special the place we are is 15 00:00:56,709 --> 00:00:55,680 and you feel that connection and when 16 00:00:59,750 --> 00:00:56,719 you see 17 00:01:02,310 --> 00:00:59,760 the impacts that we can have on the land 18 00:01:03,670 --> 00:01:02,320 it gave me this overwhelming sense of 19 00:01:05,910 --> 00:01:03,680 stewardship 20 00:01:08,310 --> 00:01:05,920 and and just wanting to 21 00:01:10,230 --> 00:01:08,320 to try to you know come back and take 22 00:01:13,670 --> 00:01:10,240 care of the planet a little bit better 23 00:01:15,990 --> 00:01:13,680 than i had before and and help convey 24 00:01:17,670 --> 00:01:16,000 the message that you know we're on this 25 00:01:18,630 --> 00:01:17,680 place together 26 00:01:21,109 --> 00:01:18,640 and 27 00:01:23,670 --> 00:01:21,119 you know we explore space together but 28 00:01:25,510 --> 00:01:23,680 we also live here on earth together 29 00:01:31,510 --> 00:01:25,520 and need to work together to make sure 30 00:01:34,870 --> 00:01:33,510 during my third eva out there i can 31 00:01:36,390 --> 00:01:34,880 remember 32 00:01:39,510 --> 00:01:36,400 we were working on the front of the 33 00:01:41,350 --> 00:01:39,520 space station so i finished up that task 34 00:01:42,149 --> 00:01:41,360 and then to catch my breath i just kind 35 00:01:46,550 --> 00:01:42,159 of 36 00:01:48,310 --> 00:01:46,560 station looking forward and it's 37 00:01:50,789 --> 00:01:48,320 just the earth 38 00:01:51,670 --> 00:01:50,799 worked out in front of us slowly gliding 39 00:01:54,630 --> 00:01:51,680 by 40 00:01:55,429 --> 00:01:54,640 and you've i felt like you know i was 41 00:01:58,149 --> 00:01:55,439 just 42 00:01:59,990 --> 00:01:58,159 riding the station through space 43 00:02:01,830 --> 00:02:00,000 you know stuff you think about you know 44 00:02:03,590 --> 00:02:01,840 you see in the movies but it's this 45 00:02:04,950 --> 00:02:03,600 overwhelming experience of i can't 46 00:02:07,030 --> 00:02:04,960 believe 47 00:02:08,949 --> 00:02:07,040 i'm here doing this 48 00:02:13,589 --> 00:02:08,959 and that's going below me 49 00:02:17,110 --> 00:02:15,430 so i can distinctly remember waking up 50 00:02:18,869 --> 00:02:17,120 one morning couldn't sleep for whatever 51 00:02:20,869 --> 00:02:18,879 reason it's like four in the morning i 52 00:02:22,150 --> 00:02:20,879 was like hey we're in a night pass i'm 53 00:02:24,309 --> 00:02:22,160 gonna go down to the cupola i'm gonna 54 00:02:25,670 --> 00:02:24,319 drink my coffee and and just stare at 55 00:02:26,710 --> 00:02:25,680 the stars 56 00:02:28,710 --> 00:02:26,720 and 57 00:02:30,309 --> 00:02:28,720 there's just so many 58 00:02:31,910 --> 00:02:30,319 and the longer you stare the more you 59 00:02:33,750 --> 00:02:31,920 see you start with the just the big 60 00:02:35,830 --> 00:02:33,760 bright ones until your eyes start to 61 00:02:37,670 --> 00:02:35,840 adjust to the dark and then they open up 62 00:02:39,190 --> 00:02:37,680 a little more and when your eyes open up 63 00:02:41,110 --> 00:02:39,200 a little more you see 64 00:02:42,710 --> 00:02:41,120 all these smaller little stars and then 65 00:02:45,270 --> 00:02:42,720 once they open up enough then you can 66 00:02:48,229 --> 00:02:45,280 start to see all of this cloudy 67 00:02:49,430 --> 00:02:48,239 structure and you realize that the depth 68 00:02:51,670 --> 00:02:49,440 of 69 00:02:54,790 --> 00:02:51,680 what's out there i can only see the tip 70 00:02:57,270 --> 00:02:54,800 of the iceberg so it definitely puts you 71 00:02:59,350 --> 00:02:57,280 in your place in terms of 72 00:03:01,910 --> 00:02:59,360 you know how big am i 73 00:03:05,670 --> 00:03:01,920 how big are we collectively as humanity 74 00:03:09,589 --> 00:03:07,830 being able to look at the earth 75 00:03:12,550 --> 00:03:09,599 from that vantage point and 76 00:03:14,390 --> 00:03:12,560 simultaneously see myself as 77 00:03:16,790 --> 00:03:14,400 part of something so small in the great 78 00:03:19,670 --> 00:03:16,800 cosmos but also part of 79 00:03:22,229 --> 00:03:19,680 something so large as the earth that's 80 00:03:24,550 --> 00:03:22,239 below me made me realize at a deeper 81 00:03:27,030 --> 00:03:24,560 level that you know i may be 82 00:03:29,509 --> 00:03:27,040 one small individual that's part of 83 00:03:31,270 --> 00:03:29,519 humanity here on the ground but i can 84 00:03:33,750 --> 00:03:31,280 still have an impact 85 00:03:36,710 --> 00:03:33,760 and i can have a large impact but still 86 00:03:39,750 --> 00:03:36,720 be something very small 87 00:03:42,550 --> 00:03:39,760 that balance of perspective has given me 88 00:03:44,869 --> 00:03:42,560 a sense of empowerment that i hope that 89 00:03:47,750 --> 00:03:44,879 everybody could share in in terms of you 90 00:03:49,350 --> 00:03:47,760 can make a difference 91 00:03:52,710 --> 00:03:49,360 the earth is 92 00:03:55,509 --> 00:03:52,720 an amazing place it is unique 93 00:03:59,270 --> 00:03:55,519 when you look out into the depths of 94 00:04:02,309 --> 00:03:59,280 space you realize just the vast ocean of 95 00:04:04,229 --> 00:04:02,319 darkness and we're on this little island 96 00:04:05,350 --> 00:04:04,239 and we're on it together 97 00:04:07,270 --> 00:04:05,360 and 98 00:04:10,149 --> 00:04:07,280 we need to figure out
